Christoper Nolan on 'Man of Steel': 'It's relatable and relevant'

The Dark Knight Rises helmer believes that the duo have made the character "relatable" and "relevant" again.

"David Goyer had this, I thought, brilliant way to make Superman relatable and relevant for his audience. Zack has built on that and I think it's incredible what he's putting together," he told The Playlist.

"He's got a lot of finishing to do on that. Superman is the biggest comic book character of them all and he needs the biggest possible movie version which is what Zack's doing. It's really something."

Nolan also dismissed comparisons between the new Superman film and his Batman trilogy, pointing out the significant differences between the heroes.

"I wouldn't want people to think we're doing for Superman what we did for Batman," he said.

"It's very much Zack's film and I think people are going to love what he's done. I think it's really remarkable to take on that character. Superman is a completely different character than Batman, so you can't in any way use the same template."
